Can bird habitat and prairie complement an operating farm? You betcha!

Join us for an engaging day on Steve and Beth Albert's Praire Bluff Farm home of Pasture Patterns Eggs.

The Alberts, who are Marbleseed's 2026 Farmers of the Year, are showcasing their organically managed egg layer farm. The Alberts raise about 1,500 chickens which spend most of their time in the mobile coops designed by Steve. Their customer base includes the greater Madison areas.

They are joined by Andy Paulios, Natural Resource Manager with Dane County Parks. Andy will lead a guided walk to share how the Alberts have worked with the neighboring county park to enhance bird habitat. Agronomists and conservationists will be on site to help with discussion and production curiosities.

Light locally sourced snacks will be served.  Attendance is open to everyone but please RSVP.

If you have any questions regarding this event please reach out to our Organic & Small Farm Conservation Specialist Ben Wojahn, [email protected].
